Hi,

Can anyone recommend the best company for pet insurance.

We have a three year old Beagle who will be coming with us to Australia in January.

Thanks

Pet plan are here - not had to claim but their meant to be very good at sorting claims...

also they give a discount on extra animals added etc.

We're with Petplan... Never had call to use them yet though...!

We are with Petplan, thank god we haven't had to claim but I haven't heard anything bad about them.

I do believe you get a discount if you have 3 or more pets but am not sure. We pay about $31 a month for our Kelpie and about $20 a month for our cat - perhaps less I would need to check.

I use Petcover.com.au. for my cat, I pay about $15 a month, and have $100 excess. Did have to claim twice, both times the claim has been dealt with very efficiently.

I used Petplan in the UK & have just set up their cover for my puds from when they went into quarantine a few days ago - they seemed really helpful & replied to my emailed queries quickly

We use Petplan for our German Shepherd, we have had to claim a few times and they were very easy to deal with, paid out no problems at all.

RSPCA - So your actually helping the organisation also. Claimed once, no hassle at all and always been very very good at answering questions etc.

Would highly recommend.

Pet Plan are one of the best insurance companies around and I would say one of the best in Australia, not that there is much competition out there yet

Anyone know, I'm with 'MORETHAN' here in the UK for my Westie, I've been paying into the scheme for nearly 5 years, can I 'transfer' the policy over to Oz or would I have to start again?


Jen

(PS I've made no claims on the policy since it started, but she has had a hystiocytoma (prob spelt wrong) removed from her lower lip....)

I'm with RACQ. It only cost me $50 (approx) a year for 2 cats as I've got home contents insurance with them. Both cats had to have some teeth removed within a few months of us taking out this insurance and I didn't think we would be covered. I was pleasantly surprised to receive 2 cheques amounting to nearly $700 to cover the teeth extractions!

Laura

p.s. Just incase you're wondering if they have any teeth left, the answer is yes! But not many!! They were rescued cats and had a poor diet before they came to us which caused the tooth decay.

Aww poor wee things, I bet their breath smells just as lovely as my Westies, if not nicer, tee hee lots of kisses for you lol

LauraV

Their breaths were honkin!!!

Jen1977ni

Tee hee I bet...
